Frequent Questions
What is Tantra, and why Tantra Speed Date?
Tantra is often misunderstood, but it’s really about connection, joy, and being fully present in the moment. Think of it as "relationship yoga," combining ancient techniques with modern fun. Through activities like breathing, mindfulness, and even some light movement or dance, participants can connect more deeply and authentically with others. It’s a refreshing change from typical dating, creating meaningful moments without the awkwardness of small talk.
What does this style of dating look like?
Participants are arranged in two circles—men in the outer circle and women in the inner circle—so everyone gets paired for short, interactive mini-dates. These guided exercises, called "dating stations," are designed to spark connections. After each one, participants share a brief “Namaste” and a thank-you before rotating to the next person. By the end of the event, everyone has had a chance to meet.
What kinds of exercises are included?
Forget cheesy icebreakers. The activities focus on authentic, meaningful interactions. Participants might engage in light yoga, movement or dance, eye-gazing, heartfelt conversations, or even gentle hand-holding. Each exercise is crafted to foster connection while teaching positive relationship skills. Participation is always optional, and everyone is encouraged to go at their own comfort level.
What happens if an exercise isn’t a good fit?
Every exercise is designed to be simple and enjoyable, but participation is always optional. If an activity doesn’t feel right, there’s the option to modify or skip it entirely. Facilitators are skilled at demonstrating how to adapt exercises to suit everyone’s comfort level.
How does this all connect to dating?
This approach turns dating into a more meaningful experience. After the event, participants can express interest in getting to know someone further. Women take the lead by placing beads into the pouches of men they’d like to connect with. From there, it’s up to either party to follow up, creating opportunities for genuine connections to flourish naturally.
What is the schedule like?
Doors Open: Check in, get your materials, and participate in a fun icebreaker game.
20 Minutes In: Last-minute guests from the waiting list are added, and the group is finalized.
30 Minutes In: The main event begins, featuring guided exercises and mini-dates. Doors close at this point, so arriving on time is essential.
End of the Night: While the event wraps up, many attendees continue the evening by dining together or continuing conversations.
What should attendees wear?
Choose an outfit that’s both comfortable and presentable. Since there’s some movement involved, opt for clothing that allows ease of motion while still helping you feel your best. Subtle grooming is encouraged, and strong scents should be avoided out of consideration for others.
Will there be food or drinks?
Unless specified for special events, food and drinks aren’t served. Bringing water is a great idea, but it’s best to save snacks for before or after the event. Alcohol isn’t allowed, so arrive with a clear head to fully enjoy the experience.
How many dates can participants expect?
With up to 20 mini-dates in an evening, there’s plenty of opportunity to connect. Events typically cap at around 40 attendees, ensuring a good balance and meaningful interactions.
How is gender balance handled?
Efforts are made to maintain a balanced mix of participants by selling an equal number of tickets for each gender. Events often sell out, ensuring a lively and well-rounded group.
What happens if no matches are made?
While the match rate is incredibly high—94.09%—if no connections are made, participants receive a free ticket to the next event.
What is the age range?
Some events have suggested age ranges, while others are open to all. Popular age groups tend to be 30-45, but attendees from their 20s to 50s or beyond often join, creating a vibrant mix of perspectives.
Is this event for singles only?
While primarily for singles, those open to exploring romantic connections are welcome. For those in committed relationships, couples-focused events may be a better fit.
Are there events for LGBTQ+ participants?
Yes! While this version is for men seeking women and women seeking men, Queer Tantra Speed Date events are available in select cities. Check the website for upcoming dates in your area.
What is the cancellation/refund policy?
Plans can change, and cancellation policies are outlined for flexibility. For more details, refer to the event’s specific guidelines.
Will there be enough attendees?
Events often sell out, with waiting lists being common. Even if ticket platforms show fewer RSVPs, rest assured that efforts are made to ensure every event is well-attended and balanced.
This is a one-of-a-kind experience that blends connection, fun, and the chance to learn something new about relationships—don’t miss the opportunity to join!
